Since a handful of Hive readers wonder what is going on in my life, this will be a short update on the past three weeks. I've spent some time babysitting the grandchildren, going to physical therapy for

Today I decided to use up a few more of those tomatoes I froze whole last fall. Basic stewed tomatoes are quite simple, so that's what I chose. I used the recipe in my 2009 edition of the Ball Blue Book

It has been 44 days since I last posted. In a nutshell, this is what I have been doing: Driving husband to appointments: 3 days (incl. carpal tunnel surgery) Driving myself to appointments: 3 days Driving

Written for @mariannewest's Freewrite Writing Prompt Day 2951: a dreaded report I rarely post twice on one day. In fact, I often do well to post twice in one month. But I just saw a notification that today

Looking over my previous post of six weeks ago, I see I had a cold at the time. Now I have another one! So annoying. This one doesn't seem severe, either, for which I am grateful. One of my good friends,

Once again, an entire month has flown by without me posting anything except comments. Today happens to be my 69th birthday. I have a cold, but it's a very mild one, so I kept my appointment for a massage,

Now that we are officially into fall, I find that my mind is more than occupied. Yesterday, I spent most of the day in an all day intensive that had me learning about the ins and out of clinical social

My brother turned 80 years old this spring. I hadn't seen him since last summer, so I really wanted to make this trip. I had hoped to do it in June, but things came up and I wasn't able to get away then.

Early in June, one of the strings broke in our living room window blind. It had to be repaired or replaced. I knew of one man in our area who had repaired a blind for us several years ago, but when I called

I had already posted four times this summer about my garden before I noticed the @gardenjournal contest. This time I will include my garden post here! Last weekend the tomatoes began turning red in a serious

This is my entry for the @freewritehouse contest, "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words." photo from @freewritehouse contest post Hugo knew he was in excellent physical shape. His muscles impressed

My rhubarb plant really got huge this year. I was so busy with other gardening chores, I didn't end up using a great deal of it, or even chopping a lot up to freeze. I did make a rhubarb crisp, and then

We haven't had any recent outbreaks of a new flu, so it must be about time for some biological warfare research lab to let another virus escape. Then the greedy pharmaceutical companies can make a lot

July is when the vegetable plants really take off and grow. Three days ago I took several photos of the vegetable garden and am now getting around to posting. If you've been reading my gardening posts,

It looks as if everything is finally planted in the garden! It took three tries before I succeeded in getting dill to grow. The first packet of seeds were old, the second package was brand new but just
